Question

what is the scale factor for each pair of corresponding sides? rectangle a: 1, 3; rectangle b: 2, 6. side length in rectangle a corresponding side length in rectangle b scale factor 1 2 1·□ = 2 3 6 3·□ = 6

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scale - factor formula

The scale factor from rectangle A to rectangle B is found by dividing the side - length of rectangle B by the corresponding side - length of rectangle A.

Step2: Calculate scale factor for side lengths 1 and 2

For the side with length 1 in rectangle A and length 2 in rectangle B, the scale factor $k_1=\frac{2}{1}=2$.

Step3: Calculate scale factor for side lengths 3 and 6

For the side with length 3 in rectangle A and length 6 in rectangle B, the scale factor $k_2=\frac{6}{3}=2$.

Answer:

2; 2
